How to properly care for your clothes
Wash your clothes frequently, as dirt causes more wear than washing. Regular washing and care are essential, especially for preserving the protective qualities of fabrics and the durability of fastening elements, such as zippers.
Always follow the care instructions on the product.
Close all fastening elements (adhesives, snaps, buttons, zippers) during washing so that they last longer and do not damage the surface of the garment during washing.
Wash the garment inside out. If the garment is particularly dirty, it may be necessary to wash it right side out to remove stains more effectively.
Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Avoid soaking, especially for garments that contain reflective tape.
Do not iron the reflectors.
It is best to shape clothes while they are damp.
Overdrying in the dryer can shrink and damage clothes. Remove clothes while they are still slightly damp.
Dry/air out clothes that have become damp during use to prevent odors from penetrating the materials.
Preferably store garments on hangers, protected from sunlight.

Care instructions for merino wool garments and accessories
If a wool garment is not dirty, air it out and let it rest between uses. This allows the wool fibre to best regain its natural strength and elasticity.
Follow the care instructions for the product.
Close all fastenings before washing.
It is recommended, for example, to use a laundry bag for beanies or socks.
Use detergent intended for wool.
Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Shape wool garments while they are damp.
Spread the wool garment out flat to dry on a horizontal surface (e.g. on a drying rack).
Zipper care instructions
Always close the front plackets during use.
Always fully open the zipper all the way down when putting on or taking off the product. This will help prevent damage/breakage to the zipper mechanisms.
Avoid using excessive force when operating the zipper.
Wash the garments frequently, as dirt wears zippers more than washing does.
Remember to close zippers and any front plackets during washing.
If too much dirt gets into the parts of the chain, the upper part of the slider is pushed outward and causes the slider to loosen, meaning the chain will not stay closed. A loosened slider can be tightened gently with pliers from both flat sides, but make sure that the gap in the slider does not become smaller than that of the bottom stop.
